ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

H. T. Myers, Chief Train Dispatcher of the
Fast Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road at Macon has resigned, and will go to
Mobile
Among the Alabama enterprises which
are being quietly but persistently pressed is
the extension of the Montgomery Southern
railroad on down into the wiregrass section
Hon Stewart L. Woodford, the distinguished
politician and lawyer, has been i'll Mont
gomery for few days evidently III the in
terest of Northern parties i'll connection
with the Southern.
Chattanooga Is stirred up over the rumor
that the East Tennessee. Virginia and Cieor-
gia road is at the back of the Tennessee Mid
land scheme. For nearly year surveyors
have been at work locating a route for the
extension Of the Memphis and Charleston
road from Stevenson to Chattanooga. The
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia people
are the lesSees Of the Memphis and Charles
ton, and were putting up the money to make
the extension. Some weeks ago suit was
brought at Huntsville in the United States
Court by the minority stockholders of the
Memphis and Charleston in New York,
against the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia esseeS, asking the court to
prevent tie voting of the East Tennessee
stock in the Directors meeting to be held
Nov. Is. Since the fling Of the bill ali
work has been stopped on the Memphis and
Charleston extension, and it has reen given
out that the scheme will be abandoned On
the heels of this stoppage of work comes the
rumor that the Fast Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia road is going to build the Tennessee
Midland from Knoxville via Nashville to
Memphis, in which event they do not want
the Memphis aud Charleston Hence their
abandonment of the work.

EPISCOPAL ORPHANS, HOME.
It's Foundation and Subsequent Man
agement and Support.

Its Foundation and Subsequent Man
agement and Support.
Editor Morning Ne,cs: The appearance
in your columns yesterday morning Of the
appeal of the Board Of Managers of the
Episcopal Orphans Home affords me an OPP
portunity which l have long desired, not
only of heartily commencing their worthy
efforts TO raise the remainder of the funds
necessary to complete the payment of the
sum required for the new building, but also
to correct misapprehension which has
arisen.
l would deeply deplore any misrepresen-
tation of the facts in regard to the founding
or subsequent support of that noble charity.
No such Misrepresentation has ever been IN
tentionally allowed by me.
/ took great pains to gather the exact
facts of the history of the Home a few
months since, and embodied them in an adj
dress which | delivered at the lay
ing of the corner stone of the new
building, in April last That adj
dress was reproduced with substan-
tial accuracy in your paper at the time.
The facts there stated are, in brief, these:
The Home was founded by Bishop Stephen
Elliott in 1874, aided financially by the late
Judge Robert NJ. Charlton, when both OF
these gentlemen were connected with what
was then new church in this city, which
subsequently grew into the now fiourishlng
parish of st. Johns church.
AS soon as the Home grew into sufficient
proportions to need larger financial sup
port the funds were subscribed by the MEM
bers of both Christ church and st. Johns,
and the Home was managed on equal terms
by members of both of these parishes, and
it was, after Bishop Elliott's removal to
Montpelier, always ministered to by the
rectors of both churches, until date IN the
recent past. This is a simple statement of
the facts of the case, as | understand them,
and present them again now, to remove
if possible any misunderstanding which
recent unintentionally imperfect publica-
ton of them may have caused. | am, sir,
very truly yours,
THOMAS BOONE,
Rector of Christ Church

A Colored Woman Rubs Red Pepper
Into Her Victims Wounds.
Coopershop lane was the scene of des-
perate fight between two colored women
last night, and it is probable that it will re-
suit in the death of one of them. Lille
Vest, of Augusta, and Matilda Hone became
involved in a quarrel over man named
Samuel Dixon, and the quarrel soon devel-
oped into fight. Lille threw Matilda to
the floor and trampled upon her in a most
brutal manner She kicked her and struck
her, and finally fell upon her chest with her
knees. Then she tore open her flesh and
called for some red pepper. 1t is said that
man named Henry Patterson gave her
the pepper and Lille threw it upon
the raw flesh of her victim and then ran
away. Matilda suffered intensely, both
from her wounds and from the effect of the
pepper. Some of her friends ran to the
dispensary, and Dr.. Cas- gave them some
thing TO relieve her, but she went into CON
WILSON'S and had one after another all night
long. 1t was thought that she would die.
Officer Durham caught Patterson and took
him to the barracks. Nothing was seen of
the Vest woman, though a search was made
for haI

Berkeley countys wife-killer was inter

hacked up, and it is with great difficulty
that he is able to speak OF talk Bailey is
in terrible condition, and his extreme age,
coupled with remorse for his inhuman deed,
is well calculated to arouse sympathy for
the old man. When asked if the report was
true that he had killed other wives, he posi-
lively replied that he had not. and that he
never had but one wife. He was then asked
why he had killed the wife of his bosom and
the mother of his children, and his reply
was that she kept" another man and that
there was no peace i'll living with her.
Bailey tried to talk more about the killing,
but his suffering was so intense he could
only speak a few words. He expressed re-
greet. however, that he had killed his wife,
and said that he had tried to kill himself be-
cause death would have to come sooner or
later, and he did not want to live.

BOUND TO GET THE BIRD.

An Amateur Sportsman Fills His
Gamebag at the First Shot.
John Schroeder and a colored boy named
Robert Gibson went out shooting yesterday,
and Schroeder, like the Pickwickians, filed
his gamebag at one shot. While they were
roaming the fields they flushed dove.
They became very much excited, and Glib
son, forgetting that he had gun, started
on dead run TO catch the bird. Schroeder
had a fine chance for shot, so he raised his
gun and banged away. He missed the dove,
but he caught Gibson in the back, squarcly
between the shoulders. He had only light
charge of birdshot, so the wound was not
serious They walked into DR. Parsons
drug store, where the shot were picked out
and the wound was dressed

oc With the Apparatus.
An electric light wire fell down on
Broughton street yesterday afternoon about
$50 o'clock. and struck the fire alarm wire,
turning the current from the electric light
works into the fire alarm system and almost
destroying it. The Big Duke began to ring
at irregular intervals, and Chief Fernandez
ran to the battery room to see if he could
discover what the cause was. He found the
circuit on which the accident had occurred
and started out to locate the break or what
ever it might be. He met Supt. Jones, and
they went together to the battery room. AS
soon as they entered they heard something
burning and cracking, and looking up saw
the electric flames playing about the switch
board, which was being rapidly consumed.
Mr.. Jones pulled out the pegs that make
the connections in the board, and he re-
ceived several severe shocks while doing so.
Besides the switch hoard several of the
small alarm boxes which are located in the
houses of members of the department were
burned out and rendered useless, and if the
accident had not been quickly discovered
and the circuits broken all the alarm boxes
in the city would have been destroyed.
They were tried after the repairs had been
made and found to be weaker than before,
but not seriously damaged
